Special trip to Badaling!

A great experience to travel to Badaling by express train from Beijing in full hustle and bustle! Unfortunately, there was too many people on the great wall to make a piece of the planned walk in peace. All in all, the visit was not too bad and we classify it as a special experience!

Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for your kind post of this Beijing tour! It is very exciting to have your approval of our travel service, which is also a great impetus for our improvement. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. We look forward to exploring the world with you soon. Best regards from TravelChinaGuide Tours.

Amazing experience and tour guide!

You never know what you might find when you arrived to a new continent / Country where you’ve never been before. Besides the amazing Great Wall tour, what makes a difference is to have an amazing guide tour. I was lucky to get VICKY, who was excited to share all she knew about the Chinese culture and the Great Wall. I was picked up at the Beijing airport in my 12hs overlay on my way to Tokyo by tour guide + driver and taken to the see the Great Wall and then back to the airport while ahead my flight departure. I would recommend it 100%. Xie xie Vicky and ChinaTours :)

Response from the operator: Dear matiasd615, We are grateful for your review on our service. What a nice thing to hear that you enjoyed your tour to the Great Wall with our guide Vicky! We are proud of having Vicky, such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide in our team. Thanks for your highly recommendation and we cant’s wait to serve you again in Asia. Have a nice day!

The Great Wall Tour

My girlfriend and I are visiting Beijing, and had the pleasure of having Rocky as our tour guide as we visited the Great Wall today. I recommend anyone who visits go through Rocky, as he was informative, kind, and knowledgeable of the whole process and what needed to be done. Rocky made the stress of a very busy day at the Great Wall easy and enjoyable. We were picked up/ dropped of right outside of our hotel seamlessly. Also, he takes amazing pictures.

Response from the operator: Dear 492christiann, We are thankful for taking your precious time and writing the review regarding your tour in Beijing with us. Besides, we are more than excited to know that you recognize our work, especially the service of our tour guide Rocky. Thank you for your kind recommendation and wish we will have another chance to serve you in the near future. Have a nice day!

One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Beijing.

How much does One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking cost?

+

Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Beijing usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Beijing is not rushed.

Is One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Beijing, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Beijing can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Beijing and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does One Day Private Badaling Great Wall Hiking start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Beijing within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Beijing?

+

On Outty we rank every Beijing experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mubus: Mutianyu Great Wall Bus Tour with Summer Palace Options, Beijing: Top 6 Highlights All Inclusive 2-Day Private Tour, Private Mutianyu Great Wall Trip With English-Speaking Driver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Beijing?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Beijing?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
